What to do if the style or voice list doesn't appear on my Yamaha PortaTone PSR-6000?

  If the style or voice list fails to appear, check the [LIST HOLD] button. If its LED is illuminated, it means the function is engaged. Press the [LIST HOLD] button to turn the indicator off, and then attempt to select a style or voice.
